they all seem to be for twitter.
prince william has just announced his engagement on the news so i searched for that. i just got a list of hundreds of different people saying "prince william has got engaged", "prince william has got engaged", "prince william has got engaged", "prince william has got engaged", "prince william has got engaged", "prince william has got engaged"...
what's the point? you may as well go to a proper news site.

Agree whats the value in something like this other than a world event that people in the event tweet about then you have realvalue from real time news. Other than that is just takes up space and provides no real value to me as a user.

I undertweet what you're saying. But the results coming up as top SERP's may or most likely may not be those peeps among your tweets. Ha-Ha a pun...well sorta.
So, maybe a user could pick something out of the results that's worthy? Maybe?
Probably not. But it is a nice move, just needs to be a little more enriched. That way we can get a more socialized experience and not the search experience. A little sanding, A little paint then Va-voom. There ya go.

Oh, did I mention it's real time too. So you can really just have all of your realtime updates in one place. I think that's slick.
